“I know you, but only because I feel you. How is it possible to love someone so much already?” the actress, 28, gushed on Instagram on Thursday. “All I know for sure is it’s the strongest feeling I’ve ever felt. We’ve been sharing this body for quite some time, and we’ve already experienced so much together. We can’t wait to meet you…”

Within minutes, Somerhalder shared the same photo of him kissing Reed’s baby bump.

“In my 38 years on this earth I’ve never experienced anything more powerful and beautiful than this,” the “Vampire Diaries” star wrote. “This has been the most special time of our lives and we wanted to keep it between the three of us for as long as possible so we could enjoy this time with each other and our little one who is growing so fast…because that’s what they do, they grow so fast.”
